Microsoft is testing wireless Android smartphone integration in the Windows 11 File Explorer. This feature, which is currently limited to Insider Channels, should feel incredibly intuitive to anyone who’s ever used a USB drive or SMB networking.
There are already several ways to wirelessly transfer files between your Windows PC and Android smartphone. You can use the Windows Phone Link app, KDE Connect, or even an FTP client.
Still, Android File Explorer integration is an incredible addition to the Windows operating system. Your Android smartphone will prominently appear in File Explorer’s sidebar, just like a USB drive or local server. You can manage the smartphone’s files from your PC or simply transfer files between the two devices—it’s super easy.
